Datametica leverages its suite of proprietary products to automate the process of migrating and modernizing data warehouses, databases, data integration (ETL), and analytical workloads to Google Cloud. The company has been a recipient of multiple awards in this space and was recently awarded by Google as the Data Analytics Partner of the Year for 2023.

The combination of Datametica, a differentiated player with deep data management and analytics capabilities, with Onix, a prominent player in the Google Cloud Platform ecosystem, will create a strong leader in the GCP ecosystem. We are excited to be part of the transaction.”
